curses.is_term_resized(nlines, ncols) Return True if resize_term() would modify the window structure, False otherwise.

curses.isendwin() Return True if endwin() has been called (that is, the curses library has been deinitialized).

curses.init_pair(pair_number, fg, bg) Change the definition of a color-pair. It takes three arguments: the number of the color-pair to be changed, the foreground color number, and the background color number. The value of pair_number must be between 1 and COLOR_PAIRS - 1 (the 0 color pair is wired to white on black and cannot be changed). The value of fg and bg arguments must be between 0 and COLORS. If the color-pair was previously initialized, the screen is refreshed and all occurrences of

curses.init_color(color_number, r, g, b) Change the definition of a color, taking the number of the color to be changed followed by three RGB values (for the amounts of red, green, and blue components). The value of color_number must be between 0 and COLORS. Each of r, g, b, must be a value between 0 and 1000. When init_color() is used, all occurrences of that color on the screen immediately change to the new definition. This function is a no-op on most terminals; it is active only if can_ch

curses.initscr() Initialize the library. Return a WindowObject which represents the whole screen. Note If there is an error opening the terminal, the underlying curses library may cause the interpreter to exit.

curses.has_key(ch) Take a key value ch, and return True if the current terminal type recognizes a key with that value.

curses.has_il() Return True if the terminal has insert- and delete-line capabilities, or can simulate them using scrolling regions. This function is included for historical reasons only, as all modern software terminal emulators have such capabilities.

curses.has_ic() Return True if the terminal has insert- and delete-character capabilities. This function is included for historical reasons only, as all modern software terminal emulators have such capabilities.

curses.has_colors() Return True if the terminal can display colors; otherwise, return False.

curses.halfdelay(tenths) Used for half-delay mode, which is similar to cbreak mode in that characters typed by the user are immediately available to the program. However, after blocking for tenths tenths of seconds, an exception is raised if nothing has been typed. The value of tenths must be a number between 1 and 255. Use nocbreak() to leave half-delay mode.
